Maureen Simon's Virtual Book Tour Stop Day 5.

Today we have the great pleasure of kicking off day 5 of the Virtual Book Tour for Maureen Simon, author of Awakening The Essential Feminine Claiming Your Influential Power.

Maureen Simon is the author of Awakening The Essential Feminine Claiming Your Influential Power ~ For women who know that their feminine gifts are needed now and for women who want to know more! Maureens book holds a missing piece for women's empowerment as it identifies 9 areas of life and 26 attributes that women are predisposed too based on brain biology and socialization.

Maureen Simon is the founder of The Essential Feminine Company™ (TEF). A lifestyle and business design company that supports women through the process of creating successful powerful lives that incorporates their uniquely feminine attributes and gifts. Her company provides learning environments and products that assist women in claiming, living and leading with their natural strengths and talents. Maureen's experience with women is based on over 25 years of successfully mentoring and guiding women leaders from around the world. We are very excited to share with you our recent interview with Maureen. Enjoy!

Maureen:I wrote the book to bring women’s awareness to the powerful gifts that women are predisposed to having and are
unaware of. Women attributes and gifts that the world now needs such as our ability to see
the whole of the situation, to listen with care and compassion, to make
decisions that benefit most to our ability to communicate with agility and
build relationships powerfully.I
believe that the world would be very different if women were sitting at the major
tables where decisions about war, business and politics are being made.

Carol and Stacy: Which part of researching for your book did you
enjoy the most?

Maureen: I loved the collaboration. I worked closely with my friend and
colleague Bonnie Gallup.We were so
protective of about getting the attributes clearly listed and defined for the
first time in one place, that we actually had to prove to each other - which attributes should be included in the research. It became a game, with high standards as we both felt responsible to
bring this new material together in the world for the first time.I believe women collaborate very often in
beautiful ways.

Carol and Stacy: How long did it take to write your book?

Maureen: The research took about one year.The book took about a year and ½ to write.

Carol and Stacy: What is your favorite women's attribute and why
is it your favorite?

Maureen:I love the natural way
that we build relationships.I
appreciate how we can complement each other on small simple things which allows us to begin to connect, and align with each other and eventually in some cases, build
deep long lasting relationships.

Carol and Stacy: The back of your book says by harnessing
the traits of empathy, nurturing, intuition and communicating at high levels, women can create a whole new way of living. How can living in this way change
or effect the way we parent our children?

Maureen: I believe women are natural nurturers. Our intuition along with our strong communication and relational skills allow us to provide exceptional care in modeling for our children.When we claim these gifts as natural and own
them – living daily with these gifts at the forefront of our life we will
automatically guide and inspire others to do the same.Children are more deeply connected to their intuition
– and they can feel what we feel by the way we relate to them.They have not gone far from their natural
connection to the divine inner guidance.When children experience their own strength and clarity of gifts, they become
stronger in the world with high values

Carol and Stacy: Maureen, you are a business consultant and show
women how to have a life transformation. How can applying what you teach in
your book and in your consulting take someone's career to a whole new level?
What's the best way to contact you for consulting?

Maureen: Yes, Carol and Stacy, I do consult women from around the world to co-create
and lead successful businesses. Women now are becoming more aware of the value of their
natural strengths and are bringing them into business and corporate life. Authentic relationships are needed more than ever in business. Women are natural relationship builders. Customers need to feel valued and women have a natural ability to show care and respect by the way we communicate. Our communication style is clear and
inclusive and builds on the strengths of others, this allows women to lead within the business world as it allows employees to feel
stronger and more empowered.

Carol and Stacy: What was your greatest joy about writing your book?

Maureen: I had agreat sense of relief that the attributes and
gifts of the feminine are now available in one place. This book could transform
the world as it will allow women to learn, claim, live and lead with these
gifts that are so undervalued and underutilized In the world today.

Now is the time for
women to step forward to create equity between the masculine. The books shows
exactly how to do this..

Carol and Stacy: What book are you reading right now?

Maureen: An oldie but goodie- Mystic Path to Cosmic Power by Vernon
Howard…a great guide to how to consciously live.

Carol and Stacy: You have a whole chapter in your book Awakening
The Essential Feminine Claiming Your Influential Power dedicated to Intuition.

Intuition for us is a key component in conscious parenting. How has the use of intuition changed your life?

Maureen: I was raised by a quite
tuned in Irish father—who asked me what I sensed in buildings and different
spaces as a child. He valued the power of intuition and wanted me to use my gift
confidently from a very young age.

Carol and Stacy: Can you tell us more about your Essential
Feminine Company?

Maureen:We support women to create businesses and lives that reflect
their values –from the feminine perspective.

transforming seminar's, books, CD’s and audio downloads, our international

Carol and Stacy: Maureen, how has the use of social media
impacted your company?

Do you recommend authors getting creative on how they share their
books with the world such as having a virtual book tour?

Maureen:

and have met and visited the most amazing women. I am so thrilled with Carol’s
guidance in setting the tour up…as well as being an amazing intentional
parenting guide. She is also a social media wizard!

themselves. Do you have any advice on how to release the writer inside of them?

lies.

I loved the interview you did with Maureen Simon. She truly understands the essential qualites the women has at her advantge to make this world a better place. And, it is not coinsidence that I am able to get to know her through this virtual tour. I loved the davice Maureen gave on how we can author our own books too. Many of us do not know what steps we need to take. Thanks Maureen for making it clear for us.

Tisha, thank you so much for stopping by. We are so glad you enjoyed our interview with Maureen. We don't believe in "coincidences" either. We all connect when we are supposed to.

Carol and Stacy, Thank you for hosting such an inspiring women - Maureen Simon.

Maureen, I love that your father nurtured your intuition when you were young. I believe if we all do this with our children, the next generation will grow up to be as self-aware and nurturing as you are now.

Hello Leigh, thanks for stopping by. As you know, nurturing our children's intuition while they are young can carry them through life. It can cultivate a life long tool that is irreplaceable. We are so grateful we are all instilled with intuition. It's up to us to strengthen to develop it.

You so elegantly and gracefully explain the relationship between establishing healthy boundaries while giving your child an opportunity to explore their own concept of self, identity, and creativity. What a beautiful blog. I am happily following you!
